FIRST WEDNESDAY MINI WOMBLE

 

8 of us at today's mini womble. Thank you to those that came!
 
Brian's homemade trolley bin made its first appearance. It's a fabulous bit of kit!
 
5 bags collected in an hour and the hideous litter filled "dry moat'" by the boarded up building on Bridge Street is now clear! Carol Fleming 's camera identified the area as plants after we had cleared it.
 
Thank you Alan Garrett for your Ulta speedy collection. It was great to finally meet you in person.

The "magic dog poo tree"

Image
  Good haul this morning by the gang as we tackled the shrubbed and wooded walk as you head out of Brackley from the zip wire park. 15 purple bags and a pile of assorted items. Plus 32 bags from the "magic bag tree"!! The little stream needed wellies to clear it and "the den" needs checking, so something for another day. We were unable to yank out the shopping trolley in the stream so we are seeing if our local council can help.

Mini Layby

  Brackley Litter Wombles attacking the A43 laybys! We started on the little laybys along the Brackley bypass today.   We laughingly thought we'd be able to do a couple! We started on the one nearest the BP roundabout... They are appalling!!   Today's haul was 36 bags, 69 tizer. Plus hangers, wire, tyres, a lovely pair of silver dance shoes, bags of earth??!!, roof tiles, a Henry Hoover and more. A real Generation Game of assorted detritus. Plenty more to do in just this one layby.   Thank you to Jackie, Trish, David , Gail and Dawn who took part in this full workout. We need to return!

Good delve

Image
 Although we had a scoot around the Wellington Road area a few or so ago, we had a really hood bush dive this Saturday to get at the grot around that area. We were also joined by a couple of people who were filming a piece about Local Litter Heroes for Northampton Film Festival. 27 bags in total from the zones we checked. This looked impressive for the filming as at the start, that end of Brackley looked quite tidy until you got in a ditch or a bush.   Thank you to today's gang.
